Tamora Pierce

[Elbereth]

I am just reading ALANNA: THE FIRST ADVENTURE right now. I am on the chapter, the Black City.

I like it so far, though I think Pierce could write a bit better. I admire Alanna's honesty and conscience, and though I can't really relate to her, I think she'd make a good friend. I can relate to Thom, and hope to hear more about him. My other favorite charcters are Sir Myles, Gary and Raoul, and George the King of Thieves. What I don't like about the book is that Jonathan and Alanna seem to be developing a 'relationship'. I like them as friends. I almost wish Alanna was really a boy because of that. Please don't kill me.
